The Justice Department's inspector general has sent a criminal referral regarding former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to the US attorney's office in Washington, according to a source familiar with the matter.
A McCabe spokesperson, the Justice Department and US attorney's office all declined to comment.

Instead of this being anything nefarious, I suspect, but don't know, that all of this may have something to do with some arcane, internal DOJ IG procedure. If someone here is more knowledgeable, please enlighten us.
Here’s the US Attorney tasked with prosecuting McCabe and potentially tthe other coup plotters...

Comey should be next.
With what fighting an indictment like this (my guess is at least three separate well founded perjury counts) is likely to cost, that $568,000 will last about as long as an ice cube on a sunny day in the Saudi desert.
Lock him up Liu!
Think of what McCabe could tell about the Clintons.
Thank you...
The sessions bashers here are so over the top, narrow minded, and repetitive, that I’ve sometimes lost interest in visiting FR. Perhaps that is on purpose hmm?
Yes, McCabe is a criminal. An FBI criminal.
And there are lots more of those in the FBI, DOJ and CIA.

They’re going after McCabe because McCabe claimed he didn’t back down on the Clinton e-mails when the Department of Justice told him he had to. Don’t forget, the OIG is the Department of Justice.
“McCabe told the OIG that on August 12, 2016, he received a telephone call from PADAG regarding the FBI’s handling of the CF Investigation (the “PADAG call”). McCabe said that PADAG expressed concerns about FBI agents taking overt steps in the CF Investigation during the presidential campaign. According to McCabe, he pushed back, asking “are you telling me that I need to shut down a validly predicated investigation?” McCabe told us that the conversation was “very dramatic” and he never had a similar confrontation like the PADAG call with a high-level Department official in his entire FBI career.”
The PADAG here is the Justice Department official coordinating with the FBI about the investigation. Note that McCabe is claiming he interpreted the PADAG as ordering him to stand down in his investigation. He claims he refused. The compromise reached was that they had to keep it out of the news. But McCabe, by arguing that the FBI hadn’t shut down the investigation at the DoJ’s orders, confirmed that the investigation was taking place. For doing that, he is being criminally prosecuted.
I saw that. it would seem like a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes for a long time. Despite all those on the bash-Sessions threads.
You're right about that!
Drip, drip, drip ...
No. Rather “walk him up” - the 13 steps to the gallows.
